I praise God for my husband, my children's father! He loves being a dad, and is willing to do whatever he can to care for our kids. Even though we already have two kids, he is no less excited about the third one joining our family. I am thankful he is a man of God and wants to pass that onto our children.
We are so blessed that David and I have both been raised with amazing men as fathers. Both have been proud to serve in our country's military. Both are God fearing men who showed that believing in God is not a sign of weakness, but rather a great strength! We wish that David's dad was still with us to get to know all his grandchildren--he would be so excited! We are thankful Elizabeth had the chance to meet him and know that he loved her. We are thankful my dad is around to share his love and his passions with our children.
Today, and everyday, we are also thinking of Josiah's first father. We are thankful that Josiah had his first two years with his first father. We are so blessed to have Josiah in our lives, and are thankful his father loved him and cared for him the best way he could. I do sometimes wonder what his father would think if he could see our family. I hope that some day we can meet him. More than anything, I pray that he has a personal relationship with our Savior!
We are most thankful for our Heavenly Father, our Abba, Daddy! He gave his only begotten son for us! He provides for our every need, and loves us no matter what!

We celebrated today by going to church, then stopping at Wendy's for frosties. Unfortunately, I didn't look like the Wendy's we visited was donating the 50 cents to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. :-( Maybe it was corporate donating rather than the individual stores.
We came home and allowed the kids (and mommy) to nap for a little while. Daddy worked on homework.
Finally, the kids and I made penne with homemade meatballs for dinner. (So glad the sight of raw meat isn't making me sick anymore...yay!) I forced myself to let the kids shape the meatballs without me fixing them. They did pretty well, but were getting a little more free-form towards the end ;-)
David received a Wii fit for Father's Day, but has had it for a couple of weeks now. He and the kids are having fun with it.
Happy Father's Day to you all!

We forgot about the frsoty thing, but weren't in a place that had a Wendy's nearby anyway. Oh well. The wii fit sounds like fun. :) Glad you had a good day celebrating the dads in your lives. :)
What a blessing Daddies are for us!!... especially, our Heavenly Daddy (Abba), but also that He gives us Earthly Daddies as well!! He is an AWESOME Planner, isn't He?
And Ha!... I say if that Wendy's isn't making a donation to the Dave Thomas Foundation, we just have to keep buying Frosties at different locations until we find one that is. Especially those of us who are expecting, right? ;o)
Great restraint you've shown in not reshaping E&J's meatballs... and who ever said they needed to be round anyway? I mean, elbow macaroni comes in dinosaur shapes. That meatball in the top corner of the picture looks like a drumstick... what fun!
Miss you guys,
